So there's only so much $$ to go around. He just confirmed that he'd rather work from within than go the free agency route. I feel it's wise...at least to avoid big payouts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm sure everything has already been said....I just wanted to post an observation: Over the course of these playoffs, (as well as much of the regular season) the Lottery line has sometimes frustrated me by passing up good shooting opportunities in favor of trying to make the extra "perfect" pass that sets up a tap in.... ...but every once in a while, we see it result in a goal like Stecher's from last night..... Pure magic and I'd bet that Hank and Dan were thinking "that's how it's done" when they saw it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, to some degree. But it also really highlights the importance of goaltending in the playoffs. I mean, the flipside is that Marky is on point and that matters. I've always said it comes down to many things: goaltending, health/injuries (funny that when we're fairly health we're "in it"...doubters in the season won't even factor in missing pieces if we fall off a bit...we suck and Green and Benning have to go), officiating (but you do have to learn to work around it), momentum/confidence, coaching and skillset. But Binnington didn't help them any, that's for sure. With that, he was pulled so he wasn't "the reason"...we were. It's kind of like when Berube tried to claim the loss and the outcome as their deal rather than giving us any credit for the win. As if they had another gear that they didn't use but should have. Nope. We were better...more composed and resilient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's played a HUGE role for Quinn....kept things nailed down so Quinn could slide in and do his stuff. Sutter too, in the leadership he brings. TT isn't as securely rooted but, don't get me wrong, this team also "works" because the guys all buy in to one another. Egos are in check and they're super strong as a unit. Sometimes you pull a guy called "Dad" (well, apparently Tequila too) and it can change the face of that. As with the crowd noise...sure...a team will have to adapt and good ones will. But if you don't have to go there, do you? Don't fix it when it ain't broke. Down the road, sure...but I don't like these conversations right now. We're in this thing...the guys who got us there deserve more respect in my mind. I ain't passing on them just yet. Maybe the proposals is a better spot for that discussion anyway? AP is still the enemy to me. I am not ignoring chemistry. I am concerned with Tanev's ability to say healthy. If you look at the course of his career he plays around 55 games.. Same boat with Sutter, these past years, he can't stay healthy. Bringing in a guy who is light years better than them both and is more durability is not going to hurt the team even if by fluke he gets injured cause odds are Tanev and Sutter will miss 30 games next year each. WIth Toffoli we don't really know the impact he has on the team. The sample size is too small. Signing Tanev to 5m will be a mistake in my eyes. Gaudette has to be that 3rd line centre so Sutter should be the out man out. We are still a young team and you have to let guys like Gaudette grow. It's either Sutter or Beagle and I prefer Beagle.

Popular Post MikeBossy Posted August 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2020 Remember the folks who wanted Benn and Fantenberg scratched and Joulevi/Rafferty slotted in? I thought they both got stronger as the series went on and back when we signed Fantenberg I was happy with the addition as I thought he had a great series for Calgary against the Avs last year. With that said we need Myers back for this next series - the D has logged a lot of minutes. If Toffoli can slot back in look out Vegas! 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If you’re a drunk, a drinking game during the Vegas series that could be fun is to drink each time Stetcher falls down. No taking anything away from this little lion, but he was looking like Raymond out there against the Blues, constantly impersonating the Zamboni. Vegas’ forwards will be not just hitting, but hitting to hurt. Good thing the D corps are relatively deep with serviceable Dmen. I suspect the physical toll of the playoffs to manifest at D during this series. Canuck Nation is about to witness the absolute of having a deep Dcore, built for playoff hockey, which JB understands and why nobody should ever bitch about Benn again on these boards. Fanta is no exception either. Which ever team advances, will do so on crutches, IMO. This will be an entertaining series of throwback playoff hockey! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I'll tell ya this. If I was the other teams in the tourny, I would not want to face the Canucks. Young, balanced, motivated and a monster in between the pipes. Marky is the best in the league IMO.

He could have come out more to cut out the angle on the beagle goal. Rousell goal was another he read badly. You can't tell me that Binnington played like a total sieve this series? It's zero to do with the series before last night and he was out of position because of the turn over as any goalie would have been.. I've played hockey in the BCHL and it's never as people seem to think, go back to the game highlights and actually have a look at the goals again and you'll see what I mean.
